Movies in the Morgue

If you’re looking for: an excuse to cuddle up and watch a movie in a very unique venue.

What is it? The Vancouver Police Museum hosts one of the strangest events in town: Movies in the Morgue. It’s a somewhat random series of film screenings held right in the old Vancouver city morgue. Yes, you read that right.

The movies being screened this month include Shaun of the Dead (sold out, but maybe try calling to get on the wait list) and Point Break. You’ll also get a chance to check out the very cool police museum before the show.
